Joe McAlhany and Scott Beckett explore the enduring allure of Steely Dan, a band whose music has been described as "...among the most genuinely subversive ouevres in late 20th-century pop." Each week we advance chronologically through the band's discography and discuss one song by the Dan, and two related creative works as chosen by the hosts.

Episode 2: Closer to That Most Important Thing: “Dirty Work”

Scott and Joe sift through their mixed feelings about Steely Dan’s soft rock classic “Dirty Work” and have a tough conversation with sad sack guest vocalist David Palmer. Then they zoom in on the messy, tangled love affairs depicted in Mike Nichols’ kinda naughty "Closer" (2004) and Andrzej Zulawski’s totally bonkers "That Most Important Thing: Love" (1975). In the process, your hosts critique Donald Fagen’s looks, praise Julia Roberts’ cargo pants, and yearn to see the mythical Nymphocula.
